I used to have money troubles but today I decided to cut food and rent out of my budget, looks like I’ll be living the high life with this incredible newfound surplus!

He wants to cut the free university education now (defund to closing).

This was yesterday response, from the teachers, the uni professors, the students, the PRIVATE UNIVERSITY students (most of their professors studied in the free universities), high school students, families who want to send their kids to the uni, workers, syndicalists, etc:

And this was all over the country: https://www.elobservador.com.uy/nota/las-imagenes-que-va-dejando-la-marcha-federal-universitaria-a-favor-de-la-universidad-publica-en-argentina-2024423165657

Even most of the far right news, lot's of their anchors studied in the free Uni, are saying that this is a very bad move.

Another nail in the coffin ancaptain

Even fucking TN said "hmm, the speech from FUA was timid"

Even Feinmann was on the side of the universities.

Cuando Feinmann te corre por izquierda...

I mean, Feinman is probably to the left of most blonde hegemonic ladies from Córdoba, more so if they come from fucking Franja Morada, and even more so if they have a fancy first name and TWO surnames.

Nice, now they have a big pile of money, instead of useless stuff such as government services.

Sucking money out of households.

This kind of surplus isn't sustainable, it'll reduce future tax income because of the economy shrinking. So the only way to force a future surplus is with even more austerity.

And spending can only be cut so much before people revolt.

That's intentional, and seen by Milei as a good thing, just as it was for the libs of 90s Eastern Europe... and Thatcher and the like. Make the state dysfunctional to encourage the market to do it instead. It increases the profit rate for a few years (assuming people who rebel are beaten down, often literally) before market mechanisms mean the need to repeat the process.

The cruelty is the point, as is said here a lot. I predict a lot more Mileis coming to the west unless the proletariat finds itself wanting to act against the bourgeois state, capital, wage labor, etc. once again, instead of finding less unpleasant forms of capitalism.

This is basically how publicly traded companies get their return on capital and earnings per share up.

[-] D61@hexbear.net 33 points 2 years ago

Hey... I can have a budget surplus to if I stop paying my electric bill every month.

[-] SpiderFarmer@hexbear.net 32 points 2 years ago

Damn, and all he had to do was skyrocket unemployment rates.

[-] Nakoichi@hexbear.net 28 points 2 years ago

geee wonder what happened in 2008?

[-] idkmybffjoeysteel@hexbear.net 26 points 2 years ago

Welcome to c/news! We aim to foster a book-club type environment for discussion and critical analysis of the news. Our policy objectives are:

We ask community members to appreciate the uncertainty inherent in critical analysis of current events, the need to constantly learn, and take part in the community with humility. None of us are the One True Leftist, not even you, the reader.

Newcomm and Newsmega Rules:

The Hexbear Code of Conduct and Terms of Service apply here.

  1. Link titles: Please use informative link titles. Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed.

  2. Content warnings: Posts on the newscomm and top-level replies on the newsmega should use content warnings appropriately. Please be thoughtful about wording and triggers when describing awful things in post titles.

  3. Fake news: No fake news posts ever, including April 1st. Deliberate fake news posting is a bannable offense. If you mistakenly post fake news the mod team may ask you to delete/modify the post or we may delete it ourselves.

  4. Link sources: All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body. If you are citing a Twitter post as news, please include the Xcancel.com (or another Nitter instance) or at least strip out identifier information from the twitter link. There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance, such as Libredirect or archive them as you would any other reactionary source.

  5. Archive sites: We highly encourage use of non-paywalled archive sites (i.e. archive.is, web.archive.org, ghostarchive.org) so that links are widely accessible to the community and so that reactionary sources don’t derive data/ad revenue from Hexbear users. If you see a link without an archive link, please archive it yourself and add it to the thread, ask the OP to fix it, or report to mods. Including text of articles in threads is welcome.

  6. Low effort material: Avoid memes/jokes/shitposts in newscomm posts and top-level replies to the newsmega. This kind of content is OK in post replies and in newsmega sub-threads. We encourage the community to balance their contribution of low effort material with effort posts, links to real news/analysis, and meaningful engagement with material posted in the community.

  7. American politics: Discussion and effort posts on the (potential) material impacts of American electoral politics is welcome, but the never-ending circus of American Politics© Brought to You by Mountain Dew™ is not welcome. This refers to polling, pundit reactions, electoral horse races, rumors of who might run, etc.

  8. Electoralism: Please try to avoid struggle sessions about the value of voting/taking part in the electoral system in the West. c/electoralism is right over there.

  9. AI Slop: Don't post AI generated content. Posts about AI race/chip wars/data centers are fine.
